I did the shoot, clean with ProShot Copper Solvent, polish with JB, shoot clean with ProShot Copper Solvent, polish with JB, shoot.....and on and on for the next 7 hours.... This has been my way for most of my rifles and has worked well for me. Use a good bore guide and rod you will minimize damaging your barrel or impacting accuracy. This is usually one of the few things most of us can agree upon. Past that its all over the place, to break-in or not to break-in, to clean or not to clean, to oil or not to oil, and on and on....... :o
